    I just hope the jet design is similar to BTS's with the Nightraven look. That's really the only thing I like about theirs. I don't suppose we know that much about this particular Overlord yet do we?

    Which, of course, isn't possibly politically incorrect in any way. I'll bear that in mind the next time I use a minefield word or throw out a stereotype - humour, humour, automatic bye. Yes.

    Oh, it's quite true I haven't read the IDW comics. My response was purely based on LazyAza's description of the IDW Overlord's character, and motivated by my disagreement of his dismissal of Masterforce as a "low-budget 80s cartoon" and the Masterforce Overlord as a "generic villain".

    Is his description accurate? If so, then yes, that would be my opinion of IDW Overlord as described.

    [add] Decided to add that lest anyone think that I am somehow biased against IDW or their designs - let me just say that I have a Generations Springer (which I understand is heavily based on his IDW incarnation) and am very pleased with him and how he looks. Probably because I'm not very attached to the G1 toy or how he appeared in the cartoon, I don't have that many hang-ups about a redesign. This of course differs when I'm talking about TFs I'm significantly attached to - e.g. Predaking and Overlord!

    I quite like Masterforce, I just prefer the IDW interpretation.

    Not such a fan of homophobia though, seriously!

    [Vader voice]Noooooo[/Vader voice]. I don't know what Overlord's alt mode are in the IDW comic that this is supposedly going to be based on, but I hope it's more "updated G1" than "Nightraven". We can leave Nightraven to the BTS version.

    I really can't stand MMC's aesthetic, but good for you guys.

    Alt modes will be similar to the comic ones I suspect:

    I hope Cassy has also figured out a way to have them combine to form a larger jet mode or bigger tank, that'd be neat. Not a make or break for me, but a cool addition I'd highly approve of :)

    As is your right!

    I fully expect the MMC Overlord to come with the lips, since it appears that IDW is what they are going for in their design. I also understand that there are people who would prefer it so, although I'm quite sure there are people who prefer the opposite (like me). As I said before, I just hope there is an option to have a lipped IDW face, and another Masterforce-type head/face; if not from MMC then maybe by someone else down the road.

    I really would not be surprised if we, one way or another, get the options for an IDW head or a Masterforce head.

    Prediction: stock head is IDW, another company makes an alternate Masterforce head

    Thanks for the pictures Mechafire, LazyAza. Those don't look half bad and I wouldn't have objections if MMC could pull that tank and jet off. Well, the jet does look nicer in Mechafire's pic, but in general it's all good.

    Hmm, well I do prefer IDW Overlord, and MMC, so this certainly has my vote.

    Carnifex needs dem luscious lips. Oh yes, he does.

    In LSotW, the writers explained that they purposefully designed Overlord with pouty lips to go with the whole larger-than-life/towering Greco-Roman statuesque physique he has. Combined with his sadistic Caligula personality, I think it suits his character very well and makes him much creepier when he smiles.

    And yeah, duo-con Cybertronian jet and tank or GTFO. Throne would be an added bonus but not entirely necessary. He does he needs his cannon/gun though (but that should be included since it forms the turret of his tank-half in alt mode).

    Hopefully MMC gives Carnifex some meaty mitts too since I didn't particularly like how small they made Hexatron's hands (which I know were designed that way so he can transform, but still: a big bot deserves some big servos).

    I don't care if his alt modes are Earth or Cybertronian based, but I do hope he has two little Powermasters that fit in G1 toys - even if they don't actually unlock the transformation mechanism.

    Consider me VERY interested.

    16" is kinda too tall for an Overlord for my interests.

    Will this one have the Breastmaster gimmick though, or will he omit it since he's IDW?

    Hopefully. He needs to be as IDW as possible.
